Lightning Swamp is one of a number of major reserves located on the Bassendean Dune system north of Perth. It is 70 hectares in size and contains a range of mixed bushland communities.

Urban Treasure - Ellis Brook Valley

Ellis Brook Valley is located twenty kilometers south east of Perth. It is a large area of natural bushland straddling the Darling Scarp.

The spring time wildflowers are diverse and spectacular. A large number of bird species can be found in the valley.

Urban Bushland Council

Perth is set in a unique natural landscape of Banksia woodlands interspersed with chains of wetlands. It is part of one of the World’s biodiversity hotspots.

Bush Forever is the public policy framework that aims to protect the biodiversity of 51,000 ha of bushland representing the 26 vegetation complexes of the Swan Coastal Plain portion of the Perth Metropolitan Region.

There is considerable community concern about the decline in populations of Black Cockatoos and the continuing loss of their habitat due to clearing of native vegetation in the Perth region and the south west of Western Australia.
